Latin American Patenting History

Even through Spanish and its popularity has remained intact through the centuries, the patenting laws and intellectual property protection has previously not been a point of focus in these countries. Even as late as the 1970’s, Latin America lacked robust patenting laws. Unlike Europe, South America’s Spanish speaking countries have not been considered as nations with very strict laws for conducting business. Other countries that have conducted business in the earlier decades of the 20th century, have not found confidence in the legal system that was prevalent in the region. The region had not developed enough to understand the importance of regulating the patenting policies. However, with the advent of the information age, there has been a dramatic change in the story.

Latin America is growing at a very fast pace. The industrial growth, economic growth and overall development in Latin American countries in particular are noteworthy. Now, Latin America has witnessed much growth in the area of intellectual property protection as well. Be it patents or trademarks or copyrights the countries of this region have gone to great lengths to bring discipline and flexibility into their IP protection laws. The patent trends have taken the intellectual world by storm.

Latin America’s Changing Patent Scene

Today, we are living in a world which is dependent on each other for information. So, intellectual property protection laws are as important as the laws governing international trade and commerce. The region has been quick in recognizing the need of emerging businesses and is rapidly establishing IP ethical standards.

As the law makers, industrialists, people and thinkers of this region have come to appreciate the strength of information age, the region has now gone on to embrace intellectual property protection laws in a very aggressive fashion.Some other observation in this regard have been made:

·These reforms have brought in more applications from establishments and people abroad.

·The region is now more in control of information that leaves or enters the region.

·The economical impact has been enormous: nations such as Mexico and Brazil have seen IP protection policies contribute to the booming gross domestic product.

·There has been a massive increase in research and development.

·Foreign investment has increased in the last decade.

·Sectors such as IT, pharmaceuticals and communication technology have seen an extraordinary boost due to the reforms in patenting laws.
